IRL News: RCM Motorsports Joins with AMS/SRS
GASOLINE ALLEY, Indianapolis, Indiana - RCM
Motorsports announced
today that it will join forces with the Indy Racing League’s Arizona
Motor Sports/Sinden Racing
Service (AMS/SRS) in 1998.
AMS/SRS, headed by Jeff Sinden and Joe Kennedy, traces its roots to the
early eighties. The team has competed in a number of forms of racing,
including the Indianapolis 500, the Firehawk
Endurance Championship, Indy Lights and now, the IRL. The team has a
reputation for turning out solid, professional and competitive efforts.
Its SRS division manufactures pit equipment that sets the standard
industry wide.
RCM has fielded successful F2000 efforts since 1994. Former drivers
include 1997 IRL Rookie of the Year Jim Guthrie and 1996 USAC Oval Crown
Champion Allen May. “We feel that we are a true training ground. We’re
excited to link with AMS/SRS and about growing together.”
AMS/SRS is the home of Crest Racing and its driver, Dr. Jack Miller.
“This is good for everyone involved,” said Team Owner Jeff Sinden. “Its
good for Jack because we’re deep in committed people, good for Crest
because we have other opportunities to spread the word about oral health
care and good for our F2 team members--they now have an in house goal to
shoot for.”
RCM assisted AMS/SRS at the Indianapolis 500 last year, contributing
people to the One Call effort of Steve Kinser and went to other events in
support of Dr. Jack Miller, Allen May and Jeff Ward. Said Team Manager
Chris McGrath: “This is a natural step in RCM’s competitive evolution.
Our people have the opportunity to broaden their skill sets. Information
and experience will be shared. Our capacity has nearly tripled. This
will foster success at both levels of the effort.”
The F2 team recently signed Silver Crown standout Billy Puterbaugh to
contest the Oval Crown. An announcement regarding other F2 drivers and a
second IRL car is expected in the weeks ahead.
